I have never really enjoyed extraction shooters. Division 2's Dark Zone got the closest but still meh. I have been playing #ArenaBreakoutInfinite and I think it makes the genre just the right amount of accessible while keeping the realism and looting deep enough for more hardcore players.

The more I watch Andor, the more I am impressed not just by the acting, writing and production design but how...humble it is. It allows so many characters to play key roles. Diego Luna knocks it out of the park but the show doesn't feel carried by him. Its both about him and not about him.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

Appreciate how much the San Francisco Standard wants to ask the robot hand bed guy about sex stuff sfstandard.com/2025/07/30/a...

What about “adult” use cases? A lot of people on X pointed out that those are two hands by a bed, after all. Could it be used for other in-bed activities?

No.

Do you think people might still try to hack it for sex?

It would be really hard — they’d need a Ph.D. to hack the lamps.

So the Lume will do no touching at all?

We are looking at this. A back massage is something that a lot of people have requested. But other startups are working on this. And we want to avoid any kind of human contact to start, for safety reasons.

We want to get really good at handling soft objects — clothing — where, if you drop a T-shirt, nothing's going to happen. But anything with human contact and you’re venturing into a realm where, if it malfunctions, worst-case scenario, you hurt someone. So we're being careful.

Andor is exactly as good as everyone is saying it is. In fact, its way better than it has any business being and transforms a character I didn't care about into one I want to see more of. Andor reignited my desire for more Star Wars. I can't wait for is Star Wars: Zero Company which is 2026...

Tweaks I need to make to daytime vs. nighttime! 1) The character shader needs to be darker at night, juuuust a touch. 2) Lights need to be off during the day! 3) I should probably activate windows at some point. #gamedev #unreal5 #ue5

Daytime! dirt is working, but the lights are on.

Nighttime. The lights are on, but my character is glowing too brightly.

There's this super cool thing tech companies use to decide what products to build. They ask people "would you use this?" and then use synthesis techniques to interpret the answer as "yes" no matter what it actually was. This is called "validation" and you can make six figures doing it for a living.

PSA: You can buy a whole bottle of @tacobell.bsky.social sauce for like $1.99 at most grocery stores. They offer mild, hot, fire and diablo. Honestly, It improves most food. They don't even check if you are putting it on Taco Bell, although its ideally used for bean burritos and Mexican pizza.
